Created by Tails Wx (talk). Self-nominated at 02:33, 30 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/November 2013 North American storm complex; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• @Tails Wx: Article and hook look good. Source verifies hook, which matches the article. I do think the hook is a bit wordy as you mentioned. I think it has a bit too much information which can be removed. How about ALT1?

  ... that a powerline caused a 100+ acre fire during a North American storm?

I'm happy to approve either way. —Panamitsu (talk) 02:50, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

• @Panamitsu: I never got the ping somehow. :P Anyway, ALT1 looks good, though I would add "downed" in front of "powerline" since well, how did the powerline cause a 100+ acre fire? Other than that, no concerns. Tails Wx 17:10, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
